PAGE FOUR I lie Successful H E STUDENTS of our school can be classi¬ fied in many ways. As belonging to the Technical department or to the Commercial. A remark such as, Oh, they won’t be interested. They are too young. Grade IX can’t be expected to like what Grade XII likes , reveals another classification. A girls ' assembly is often quite distinctive, presenting a fashion show, for example. A boys’ assembly will be centered around the hockey team, perhaps. Then nil students are quite awake to the classification of those below 60%; those above 60%.” Our students may be considered in many different ways. Yet, in spite of all these classifications there is one grouping which takes in every single student in the school. That is the group that hopes to be successful in studies. Teachers know that every boy and girl in either department, in any grade, wishes to be numbered among those MARY O’DONOGHUE Dean of Girls who pass” — the successful. Now why, if every boy and every girl wishes to succeed do we have those below the line”, those “on probation”? The main reason, teachers agree, is in the pupil ' s aim. He is con¬ fused by other things, he spends too much time in extracurricular activities, he joins too many clubs, he is too fond of amusement, he gets his mind on something else . . . He doesn’t see his aim and so he misses the mark. Then he is disappointed in his school marks. He becomes discouraged. He gives up. How can the pupil learn to aim and to hit the mark? Let us see how Drona put it when he was teaching the six Hindu princes to use the bow and arrow. He made a bird of wood and set it on top of a tree. The six young boys saw to their bows and were ready to take aim. In¬ dividually Drona questioned them as to what each saw. The first boy, the second boy, the third boy, the fourth boy, the fifth boy were not allowed to shoot. When asked what he saw each boy had replied that he saw the bird. the tree, the teacher, his brothers, his cousins, etc. Drona grew more and more disappointed as each answered. Then he had Arjuna step forward. “Arjuna , he said, tell me what you see . “I see the bird”, said Arjuna. “Describe it”, commanded Drona. 1 cannot”, replied Arjuna, “for I see only its head”, Shoot then!” said Drona. Arjuna released his arrow and the bird fell. Then Drona explained that he who would hit the mark must first see the mark, which means to see the mark only. To a boy or girl who has the wonderful opportunity of getting an education, the mark is success in studies. Look steadily and con¬ tinually at the mark. Do not be distracted from it. Then when examinations come you will hit the mark—you will be among the group of those who have 60% and over. EDITORIAL Bv JOSIE I.ATESSA A T THIS TIME OF THE YEAR, to the seniors, suddenly comes the realization that soon school bells will ring for them no more. No more friendly faces of school friends, long-awaited assemblies, football, hockey, and basketball games— all will be part of the past. As we move forward in the world, reminiscences of our teachers, friends and studies will return to us occasionally, bringing with them a longing to be back among these pleasant surroundings. The seniors know, as other students know, that school can be a joy, fun and interesting—if YOU make it so. The graduates have always felt that they had a place to fill—a job to do. This job is the task of passing all tests and obtaining that triumphant graduation certificate. But this is not their only task, nor yours You must interest yourselves in the activities of the school, your fellow-classmates and even your teachers. Have pastimes with which to escape the daily routine. Enter into some activity other than your regular school studies, for although studies are of prime importance, your best efforts can be shown more easily, if you relax after school with a recreational or educational pastime. By doing this you too will soon feel that you are part of the school, part of the active student body and that you really belong. May we extend our congratulations to Mr. S. R. Ross, on his election as president of the On¬ tario Educational Association. We are certain that this organization has chosen the right man for the position, for as our principal, Mr. Ross has always displayed character that depicts leadership.
